toe tho two railroad today, tho com-
stated tha th concessions mad
appreciated. But, they stated, there
1i several potfils which mliht be con
Mered farther.
COUXTBR-PROFOSALS
An entirely now plan, In reference to
m family tleket, ia suggested by tho com
euters. They ask that the railroads adopt
e of' the two following plan
Thai the proponed flfty-trlp ticket be
(node substantially a family ticket with
limitations as to Its use, or,
, That an entirely new twenty-four-trip
ticket, to be sold at half the price
of the flrty-trlp ticket, ha Issued.
, In. asking the Pennsylvania to withdraw
"Ma proposal for a minimum fare within a
seven-mile tone the commuters asked that
R fellow the plan proposed by the Phlla
deVrifa and Heading Railway snd charce
one and a half cents per mile up to and
within tbe seven-mile zone on the flfty-trlp
Meket and beyond that tone' the new rate,
M suggested by both railroads, be effective.
The commuters, "in urging fhe necessity
lor a family (rip ticket, which- was abol
' Uhed In December, 114, and which the rail
reads have since refused to restore, directed
. the following communication, to the rail
roads: ,
"Bothj railroads have refused to re-
establish a family ticket. Tour reduction
of the lM-trlp ticket to one for fifty rides,
ai ther samo time' reducing the limitations
of one' year to six months, will, to some ex
lent, relieve the situation, provided you go
ee step further. A flfty-trlp ticket alone
does not meet the requirements of the sub
urban family. It simply takes caro of one
attkna member of whati might be a
' Very "'large household, by selling two fifty
trip tlekets for what was formerly the price
e one 100-trlp ticket It does not take care
trf servants or eMldren who cannot use a
sefeeol ticket, nor the half-fare straight
Heket."
TWO NEW PLANS
"The purchase by the head of the house
hold of flfty-trlp tickets for each of such
persons still Involves too great an outlay
of money to be practicable for a family
of average means.'"
"We recommend, therefore, two propostj
ttens, either of which will be acceptable,
sierig with the establishment of the fifty
trip tickets as now proposed by both rail
roads," "(a) In the purchase of the flfty-trlp
Meket. the purchaser shall pot he required
to sign )ils tmtnti but the Jlcket shall be
good for one ride at the time In the hands
ef the liotders provided the holder shall
be a member of his household, which re
striction oould be required upon the back of
the ticket. This would entirely obviate
the use of this ticket by more than one per-
eon at a time, the great abuse of which
Use railroads complain of.
. "(b) in addition to the flfty-trlp ticket,
the railroads establish R new twenty-four-trip
ticket to be seed for three months and
tt be sold for one-half of the price of the
r Hftr-trtp tick, limited to the use of the
i, purchaser, who would sign on the back, as
as required now for the purchasers of the
lM-trlp tleket."
f FOR RKAPINO REVISION
In addition to this the attention of the
Heading was oalted to what the commuters
was a mistake In the commutation of
fare for two stations on the proposed
r-trlp-tloket sone. The stations In quel-
an vera nocK ana UaK mne. The
laar schedule, as submitted. Indlratisrl
Veh these stations within a seven-mile
,etne and for this reason based the fare
- n the maximum rate of one and a half
tetrte per mile. The commuters point out
that both, these stations are beyond the
even-mile sone and they ask that the fare
be readfueied accordingly,
In, the letter to the twp railroads the
ommuters or to participate In confer
ences If such be deemed necessary by the
railroad to settle tbe controversy. The
letters were signed by Bdwln M. Abbott
mod JBdward V. Martla eounsl to the com
jSMiters' and pustnees men's association's.
Mr, Abbott, lar whose office repreeentatlves
at the oommutere met today, said that
he believed, the 'entire case would now be

CHIC LAUNDRYWOMAN
DEFENDS RIGHT TO WORK
Continued from rase One
stratlng her right to the title super-laundress.
'
1 MILKS FOR SUCCHSS '
.Looking as fresh" as a daisy and more
like a calm and collected trained nurse
than a "washerwoman" embroiled In a
lawsuit, the outcome of which will affect
her entire career, MNs Cuthbert told me
that there are certain rules which she who
would be successful In the washing business
must follow,
' "You must never take a dirty Tsash,' she
said crisply. "Washing dirty clothes doesn't
pay. They may be mussed and very, very
slightly soUed, but there can be no dirt,
I always return the wash when It is very
soiled. Then you mustn't take too many
washes. I have a contract to do no more
than the. You must be exclusive. Careful
people do not like to think that their clothes
are being mixed up and washed with other
people's. You cannot use any bleaches If
you want to be well paid, but you must get
the clothes white by nature's methods."
Miss Cuthbert Is an exceedingly hand
some young woman of twenty-seven. She
is the lovely Irish type, with clear blue
eyes and a peach-blow skin. Masses of
soft chestnut hair are piled on the top of
her head. She has a good education, and
thought at one time four years ago that
It was more ladylike and profitable to be
some one's secretary than a washerwoman
Now she knows differently,
"I made eight dollarn a week working
an stenographer In a shoe store In the city,"
the said. "In time" this dubiously, "I
might have made fifteen, but there are
.many, many girls In Philadelphia who work
hard for ten hours In ofllces that are poorly
ventilated and make no more than ten or
twelve. Often these women work for years
on this wage, I could not support my family
on this sum and so I got' out My mother
always knew the flno points of washing
clothes and she taught me,"
OKTS GOOD I'JUCKS
One family pays 130 to have this capable
person do Us weekly wash! another SIS;
twp .more 9, and another It, There are
only-six persons In the-famlly which pays
$S0 and the, laundry la not u very heavy
one. Miss Cuthbert explained, but they are
very particular trid particularity Is ex
pensive. Her sister. Miss Annie Cuthbert
assists her with the mangling and her
father helps with the machinery It Is a
small laundry that she maintains, but from
the look of tidiness an efficient one.
What she cannot understand Is why a
small, private and exclusive laundry which
e not objectionable on Sibley avenue be
comes obnoxious on Thompson avenue. But
around at the Lueeon home, an attractive
plate with flno old trees, and u spacious
lawn, It la said that If a laundry Is oper
ated next doer their property will depreciate
several thousand dollars. Hecrutte have

OIL KING'SWEWARDMAY
'0 TO CAMDEN POLICE
Continued from Teie One
murder in his cell In the Camden County
Jail today, he refused to give Captain of
Detectives Shregler, of Camden, any Inkling
as to why he killed the lawyer.
"Just had a reason and a good reason
at that," 'was all that Brown would say
when pressed to tell why he murdered
Itlcc.
Illce was middle-aged. He had lived In
Cleveland for sixteen, years. Ills wife and
four children were In Cape Cod, Mass ,
when he was killed. About two hours be
fore the body was iound nice was seen
by a trolley car conductor. Near the body
a. red bandana handkerchief was found.
.He was shot; twice and also stabbed sev
eral times in the .left arm, His papers and
monej' were not disturbed.
The first reward tor the arrest of the
murderer of nice was offered by William
Nelson Cromwell. Later Rice's law part
ners also offered rewards and shortly after
ward came rewards from John D. Rocke
feller. Myron T. Herrick and other promi
nent citizens of Ohio
Mrs. nice and her children went to New
York after the murder, where they have
their home.
When Captain Shregler was asked today
whether he thonght the negro was telling
the truth, he said:
"Everything points to one thing, and that
Is that the prisoner is telling the truth.
If he Is a liar, then he is the greatest bug
that over fell Into our hands."
BETTING ODDS SHIFT
AGAIN, BACKING HUGHES
"Quiet and Heavy," Says New
York Broker Explains
Change
NKW YORK, Nov. 1. A million or more
has poured Into the New York betting ring
In presidential wagers so far. according to
William Marco, of Wasserman Brothers,
brokers He sized up the betting thus far
as being "quiet and heavy," with the em
phasis on both the quiet and the heavy,
"At the outset," he said, "the bettors
were so sure of Hughes's election that they
were wilting to offer almost any odds
Kor that reason they were alvlnir 2V, ta 1.
or I to 1 for quite a while Then Wilson'
money uecame more plentiful and a lot
of folks especially the little fellows, got
wared and hedged That made the odds
shift around until they got to even money
"Now they've hedged by betting on Wil
son, and the odds are shifting ngaln. All
the bets are not getting Into the papers
either I know, of one bet of 140,000 on
Hughes,"
Much Js heard about betting- this year,
but Marco, who in reputed to know the bet
ting game from the ground up, says It's
no more open than In previous campaigns.
The prevailing odds were lo te 8U today,
with some betting at 10 to 8 on Hughes and
some at even. Wetlmatee on he bets platted
te the last twenty-feur hours varied from
Ko.ooo to meow,

ration, contends that the reorganisation and
the npportlbnment of the Mock l unfnl

Court reinstate the old New Jersey concert.
President du Pont relates In detail the
expansion of the powder Industry and re
counts the steps leading up to the absorp
tion of the New Jersey concern by the
parent cdrporatlon In Delaware, Ho said
that It was a bad business policy lo have
a discrepancy between the capitalisation
of the New Jersey corporation nnd tho
value of the property which would be per
manently used In the business of ther com
pany. Some radical changes were nccesa-
to reorganize the New Jersey company n
the agreement to merge It with the D
aware corporation, vvas brought about. ,
PROPERTIFS TRANSPERnCD
The reorranlzatlon was effected Octobel
1 1915, and tho properties of the New 3er I
sey company were transferred to tho DelaJ-J

act on the part of both corporations in
exchange for Its properties the New Jersey

nCASONS FOR REFUSAL
Concluding his affidavit. President dj
Pont says that to give such relief as tho
complainant prays for would be to reveit
the New Jersey company with the prop
erty In question to such an extent that the
four shares of stock which Miss Henry now
holds would be worth their present value
plus $3200, which those who held tho stock
before her have already received. , ,
The affidavit states that efghty-plne and i ,
seven-tenths per cent of the stockholders
of tne old New Jersey company agreed to
the absorption of the concern by the DeU- "
ware corporation. The company and Its i
oracers received no protest or objection
from any holder of Its stock or other bc
curttles to the proposed plan. "The Dela
ware corporation was organized at an ex
pense of J83.BS0 and has obtained perm'.
slon to do business In thirty States nt ni
approximate expense of $16,500, MIii
Henry seeks to restrain the Delavvar6 ro-.
poratlon from continuing the absorption of
the New Jersey concern for a consideration
of $120,000,000.
